It is worse then you think. I have had one on order since August. Every month
DAK sends me a letter saying 30 more days. When I got the letter saying that
they were not expected to ship in Febuary, I called them and they said that
the didn't know for sure when the paddle would ship and would I like to buy a
new Breadmaker IV instead. If anyone knows of somewhere else to buy a paddle
please post, as I have essentialy given up on DAK.
Thanks, Michael
